All I hear about this guy is problems. Seems like everyone who's ever ordered from him has to return their items at least once or twice before getting something decent. What's gives?

it adds character that makes a dial like that so special. my gen pre comex dial has flaking on the lume and spots on the dial and I wouldnt touch it with a ten foot pole. just as dbane

Are you high? Don't do a damn thing. It's perfect

that watch is disgusting, send it here and I will destroy it for you

Feel bad for whomever buys it if it sells

I honestly could care less if people sell frankens or watches with aftermarket parts or whatever. Just dont try to sell it as gen. And if you dont know what you're selling, find out

Still. There are plenty of dealers who are not experts. I am not an expert, at least not on the 1675, but I have owned 2 gen 1675's and a few subs/datejusts and I have built and studied enough to know when something is wrong. That watch is wrong. No 2 ways about it. Mish mosh franken, whatever. It aint gen, and that case aint gen, period. Looks like a yuki case.

Ah someone's on my side

And look at the back if the cgs. You REALLY think this thing is gen?

I could be wrong as well but there are a few things that are bothering me.

First, I find it hard to believe that it's an original case. The cgs look like they just came out of the mold. I have NEVER seen crown guards that perfect on a 40+ year old watch. Especially if they've been polished which if that case IS gen, then it would have had to be by the cleanliness of it.

Secondly, the rehaut is a little to tall for a 1675 and is missing the lip, or at least it's undetectable from the photos, where the crystal meets it at the opening. From the look of the photos, it runs up right to the crystal which is incorrect.

Third, the coronet and the rolex printing on the dial. I have seen a lot of variations of this as many of you have. And I am not saying it's wrong because I am not an expert on this model, but the letter spacing is jacked and I cannot find an example of the crown on any 68 gmt. Look at the ono in chronometer. The letters are mashed together. And the of f in officially.

Look at the dial you posted on the example above and compare it to the one we're discussing. C'monnnnnn. Rolex has done a lot of weird things, especially back in the 60s and 70s but their QC has always been impeccable.

I have an extremely hard time believing this watch is gen. MAYBE a Franken but to me, nothing there is gen.

Ok. If you say so

And where's the movement pic? I'm afraid at best this is some Franken but it's far from a gen 68 1675

Show me another with that dial and that case, especially a "68" with cgs that look like that and I'll eat my words. Rehauts wrong as well. But if you think it's gen well ok.

They're ok. Not a deal but not expensive. Negotiate

Can tell you about ten things wrong just from a glance

its gen, thats for sure. I am pretty sure that its for a seadweller, not a 14060. the size difference btw the 14060 and the 16610 is not as drastic as that one. I think you have a nice little money maker here. 16610 inserts are easy to get.

thats a gen sd insert

dont relume that dial. what a mistake. if you want a new dial, do what you're doing and just have them swapped, but dont destroy that dial with a lume job. leave it the way it is, perfect

welcome to hell from another NYC rolex guy

Guess I could be wrong but that seconds hand is ahort
